Determining the Installation Height
Step 1. Measure distance from center of lens to the top of the PDS-PLUS bracket.
Step 2. Add the distance from the ground to the top of the screen (A), the recommended offset from the projector manual (B),
the measurement from Step 1 (C), and then add 1.5”.
(Example: A + B + C + 1.5” = ?)
Step 3. Measure the calculated distance from the top edge of the viewable area of the screen/whiteboard and mark the wall. This mark
will represent the lower edge of the wall plate.
Refer to the projectors Users Manual to determine the offset of the projector lens to the top of the screen/whiteboard.

to distance listed in projector Users Manual.
Rear Mounted Lens
For rear-mounted lenses, subtract disance (Y) from
the distance listed.
